In my post last week about GBP/USD, I mentioned that as long as the 1.23 support remained intact, the pair could rise toward the 1.26 resistance level and that buying dips below 1.24 could be a good strategy. Indeed, the pair climbed to 1.26 on Friday, which raises the question—what’s next? In my view, GBP/USD is likely to continue its ascent, with the next...

In my post last week about USD/JPY, I mentioned that the pair could resume its decline and draw attention to the 154+ sell zone. Indeed, USD/JPY started falling after reaching 154.80 and is now trading at 151.72, which is very close to a key horizontal support level. Looking ahead, I expect this support to break, pushing the pair below 150 and potentially down...

Last week was highly volatile for Gold prices. After reaching a new all-time high on Tuesday, the price dropped sharply by approximately 800 pips. However, it began recovering on Thursday and climbed back to the 2940 zone on Friday. In the final hours of trading, Gold experienced another sharp decline, closing the week exactly at the 2880 support level. These...

In financial markets, price movements are not always the result of simple supply and demand dynamics. Large investors—hedge funds, market makers, and institutional traders—use advanced techniques to enter and exit positions without causing drastic market reactions. One such strategy is stepwise distribution, a method through which they gradually sell off assets...

After breaking above the falling trendline from the end of January, GBP/USD has entered a consolidation phase between 1.23 and 1.25. Recently, the pair tested the support zone once more and began to rebound. In my opinion, the upward movement will continue, and we could see a test of the next resistance above 1.26. In conclusion, I am looking to buy dips below...

Gold has been on an incredible run, with seven consecutive green weeks and the last three marking all-time highs. While this might seem like a strong bullish signal, traders must exercise caution. Markets that extend too far in one direction can become unstable, leading to sharp corrections. Whether you're trading TRADENATION:XAUUSD or any other asset, it's...

After dipping below the 31.70 support level twice, silver managed to recover and is now testing the key 32.30 resistance zone again. Given the chart structure and price action over the past 48 hours, I believe an upside breakout is likely, with the potential for acceleration above 33. In conclusion, my strategy is to buy on dips, with invalidation set below the...

As mentioned, I remain bullish on AUD/USD and expect a rise to 0.65. Over the past 10 days, the pair has remained virtually unchanged, fluctuating within a tight 50-pip range between 0.6250 and 0.63. However, yesterday, AUD/USD showed some strength and broke above 0.63. I believe this breakout is genuine, and we could see further acceleration to the upside. My...

Yesterday, gold dipped to a low of 2864; however, this drop was quickly reversed as bulls took control, pushing the price back above 2900. This raises the question: is the correction over? The daily candle formed a Pin Bar, which could be a strong indication that the correction has ended. Currently, the price is trading around 2913, with the key support level...

Since the beginning of the week, I have been writing that although the overall trend remains bullish, Gold is due for a correction. Indeed, after a blow-off top to a new all-time high of 2943, the price started to decline and reached the confluence support zone at 2885. At the time of writing, the price has returned to this support level, and there is a high...

Since the beginning of the year, USD/JPY has been in a bearish trend, with the price dropping from 159 to 151. After reaching support around the 151 zone following Friday's NFP, the price started to reverse upward and is currently trading at 153.63. In my view, this is just a correction of the initial leg down, and once resistance is reached, the price is likely...

In my analysis yesterday, I mentioned that Gold could be due for a correction and suggested selling rallies. Unfortunately, my sell position from 2905 hit the stop loss, and Gold went on to reach a new all-time high. However, this appears to be a blow-off top, which could signal the start of a real correction phase. With this in mind, I will look to sell rallies...

Gold started the week by reaching a new all-time high near the 2,900 mark. However, as I explained in my weekend analysis, while the overall trend remains strongly bullish, I anticipate a pullback to correct the 3,000-pip rally since the beginning of the year. I am looking to enter a sell position with a tight stop-loss, aiming for a 1:3 risk-reward ratio to...

The big question on everyone’s mind is whether FOREXCOM:XAUUSD will reach $3,000 in 2025. In my opinion, it probably will. Looking at the weekly chart, gold has been trading in a well-defined ascending channel for exactly a year. Each time the price dips near the trendline support, buyers step in, keeping the uptrend intact. The last time this happened was at...

Over the past few months, Ethereum has been a disappointment for bulls, struggling to maintain momentum. Despite Bitcoin testing its all-time highs, COINBASE:ETHUSD has consistently rolled back from the 4K resistance, forming lower highs along the way. Bitcoin’s recent drop to $90K triggered a sharp decline in ETH, pushing it down to the critical $2.1K...

The strong optimism following Trump’s election in November fueled a Bitcoin rally, which in turn led to a massive surge in MicroStrategy’s ( NASDAQ:MSTR ) stock. However, after reaching an all-time high near $550, MSTR experienced a sharp decline. Interestingly, despite Bitcoin hovering around $100K and even attempting a new ATH recently, this momentum hasn’t...

Since reaching the 32.30 resistance zone last Wednesday, OANDA:XAGUSD has been trading in a range-bound consolidation phase. On Friday’s NFP release, the price spiked back into this resistance area but quickly reversed, closing the day near the 31.70 support level. Currently, Silver is rebounding once again from this support, which could present a good...

Since the beginning of the year, EUR/USD has been trading within a range, fluctuating between 1.0200 and 1.0440, aside from a few temporary spikes in both directions. While the overall trend remains bearish, I anticipate a relief rally in the near future, which could push the price toward the 1.0650–1.0700 zone in the medium term. In the short term, the market...
